I think there's a difference between the type of area you live in... I always got the impression that Central areas of large cities: Far more original bands (younger set of musicians/younger crowd) Suburbs and smaller towns: More covers-playing bands (All the "inspired artists" move to the...

Thanks, Fretless - I'm already finding your exercises useful!:)

That makes sense - but often when I try that, I end up playing these players' lines without using the techniques they're using. I end up playing them in my style, if you see what I mean, and I find it hard to break out of it! I know I should be more disciplined in that respect... I'd love to...

I've realised recently that I tend to neglect using hammerons, pulloffs and slides in my playing (mostly rock/pop stuff ). I DO use them, but I think my playing would be more fluid if I used them more. When I admire another bass player, it's usually their heavier reliance on these techniques...

Hi, I thought someone here might be able to help me with some specs... I've just picked up a Peavey 4 x 10 cab - it says it's a '4108 enclosure' on the back - secondhand and wondered if anyone could identify what ohms it runs at... I don't want to destroy it by getting this wrong! At the moment...
